New phone service being piloted to combat increasing levels of fraud
A new service has been developed and is currently being piloted by a range of banks and telephone companies across the UK in order to combat the increasing levels of fraud in the UK. 159 works very much in the same way as 101 does with the police and 111 for the NHS – it ensures that you are protected against possible fraudsters attempting to gain access to personal information or financial information such as bank details.
Call 159 if:
- Someone contacts you saying they’re from your bank – even if they are not suspicious
- You receive a call asking you to transfer money or make a payment – even if it seems genuine
- You receive a call about a financial matter and it seems suspicious
- Remember, 159 will never call you.
Free ACEs / Trauma training for professionals
Embedding trauma informed practice across public services could help people live happier, healthier, crime-free lives, and in the longer term also reduce demand across public services. Please email karen.dawes@hampshire.police.uk for further information.
The Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner are offering free Adverse Childhood Experiences/Trauma training for professionals across sectors who support young people up to the age of 25 years.
